WASHINGTON, June 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Capitol Counsel today announced the addition of 20-year Washington, DC veteran and financial services industry expert, Jill Hoffman, as partner.  In her new role, Hoffman will focus on growing Capitol Counsel's tax, retirement and financial security practice. 

Hoffman joins Capitol Counsel from the Financial Services Roundtable (FSR), where as Vice President for Government Affairs she led the association's retirement security and tax advocacy practice and tax reform engagement efforts.

Prior to FSR, Hoffman served in a senior role at National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) where she captured crucial wins in NAIFA's Dodd-Frank effort by preventing the SEC from imposing burdensome regulations on financial professionals.  Hoffman also played a central role enacting the National Association of Registered Agents and Brokers.

Hoffman has lobbied for the American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI), worked on the AFLAC Federal Relations staff, and served in the office of Senator John Breaux (D-LA).  Her professional acknowledgments include memberships in the prestigious public policy groups the Exchequer Club of Washington and the Tax Coalition.
